Jackie Chan's K-pop group, JJCC, is set to have a comeback on January 14. The rookie group will be releasing a new digital single after a five months of hiatus.
The group released teaser images showing the new concept for their upcoming music. Soompi noted that the idol group will be stepping away from their strong manly image this time. In the photos, the five idols' attire is rather trendy compared to the dark and sleek outfits they have worn during previous promotions. They showed their fun-loving and youthful sides through their poses, hinting that their next release will feature a cute and playful theme.
According to allkpop, JJCC's new single is titled "Light It Up."
A rep from their agency, Jackie Chan Group Korea, revealed, "This release will mark the turning point of JJCC's career, as they have made a shocking transformation for the new album. We will show a previously unseen side of JJCC through new charms and impressive performances, so please show your interest [in the single]."
JJCC took to their official Twitter account on January 6, announcing their return on the 14th. "Set the music industry and women's hearts on fire! Let's eat, play, and live well in 2015~ Together with JJCC in 2015~~~~^^*coming soon 2015.01.14," the group tweeted.
According to K-pop Herald, Jackie Chan launched the idol group in March 2014 after several years of training. The Chinese movie superstar, who is known for his penchant for K-pop, reportedly contributed in planning JJCC's concept, scouting the members, and producing their debut album.
The group is composed of Korean members, E.co, SimBa, San-Cheong, as well as Korean-American Eddy, and Chinese-Australian Prince Mak.
Eddy was actually part of "Jackie Chan's Stunt Group" before he was introduced as part of the group. SimBa and E.co, on the other hand, used to runway models. San-Cheong is currently studying at the prestigious Hanyang University's Department of Theater and Film.
Prior to joining the group, Eddy was a part of Jackie Chan's stunt group, while SimBa and E.co used to be runway models, and San-Cheong is currently studying at the prestigious Hanyang University's Department of Theater and Film, and Prince Mak was a winner of a Chinese survival audition program and was picked by SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment for auditions in Australia.
Their first mini-album "BingBingBing" ('Oneway') was released back in August.
